Pics: Eve Gets Sexy For New York Post Photo Shoot!

Remember when Eve was the tough, platinum blonde-haired pitbull in a skirt? She’s definitely softened up a lot since her Ruff Ryder days.

This week, to promote her new album, Lip Lock , which is in stores now, she caught up with The New York Post for a very girly and sophisticated photo shoot. The spread features Eve in some fierce heels and bright summery pieces from Nicholas Kirkwood, Mara Hoffman, Roberto Cavalli and Christian Dior that were a perfect match for the auburn-colored hair she’s rocking.

During the sit-down, she revealed that her album – which features guest appearances from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Sean Paul and Hip Hop newcomer Kitty – is dear to her because it features artists who she actually enjoys listening to:

I wanted to work with people that I actually enjoy listening to. And I wanted the people on this album to want to be there — not that it was a label calling in a favor. It felt right. It felt organic. Everything, every producer that’s on it, every side artist that’s on it, it all came together so easily. There wasn’t any frustration.
